• ✓ water
• all-purpose flour
• olive oil
• salt
• olive oil
• cornmeal
• crescenza-stracchino cheese
• olive oil
• sea salt

Instructions

1. 1 Place flour into work bowl of a large stand mixer; add both amounts of water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Mix dough using stand mixer fitted with dough hook on low speed until it forms a ball on the dough hook, 5 to 6 minutes. Dough should be soft and elastic but not sticky.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a work surface and form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand on counter at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. 3 Lightly grease the quarter-sheet baking pan with 1 teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with cornmeal. Dust a work surface lightly with flour.
4. 4 Move oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
5. 5 Unwrap dough and cut into quarters. Pat each quarter out on the floured work surface to a roughly rectangular shape. Roll 1 piece of dough out to about 3/8 inch thick, retaining rough rectangle shape, until dough is about 6x8 inches. Pick up dough with well-floured hands and gently stretch it, rotating as you go, until dough is almost large enough to fit over the prepared sheet pan. Pull and stretch dough so it overlaps the edge of the pan by about 1/2 inch and fasten dough edges to sheet pan edges; dough will be thin and membrane-like.
6. 6 Drop about 6 tablespoons of crescenza-stracchino cheese onto the stretched dough, spreading the dollops out evenly. Roll out another piece of dough as before, stretching to fit over the first dough sheet and cheese. Stretch, pull, and seal dough as before so the cheese is enclosed between the 2 sheets of dough.
7. 7 Roll a rolling pin over the edges of the dough to simultaneously seal the flatbread edges and cut the overlapping edges off. Roll the overlapping dough edges away from the pan so flatbread falls into the prepared pan. Press flatbread edges flat and roll slightly if desired to be sure the edges are fully sealed. Discard rolled-off dough edges.
8. 8 Pinch a small bit of the top dough between your thumb and forefinger and gently tear a small hole in the dough; repeat 2 or 3 more times to make a few tears in the top layer.
9. 9 Drizzle flatbread lightly with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until flatbread has many browned, blistered spots on top, bread has inflated, and the top is crusty, 6 to 7 minutes. Repeat steps to make a second flatbread using second half of dough as before. Drizzle 2nd flatbread with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt. Bake second bread as before. Cut in breads into quarters and serve warm.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• brown rice flour
• buckwheat flour

Instructions

1. 1 Mix together the brown rice flour and the buckwheat flour until well combined.
2. 2 Day 1: Whisk together 1 cup of the flour mix and 3/4 cup filtered water in a glass jar. Stir well until smooth and no lumps remain. Cover with a piece of cheesecloth or a clean linen towel and let sit at room temperature (about 70 degrees F (21 degrees C)), far from drafts or direct sunlight. Do not cover with plastic wrap, the circulation of air is important. Every once in a while, stir the mixture with a fork or whisk. Check to see if small bubbles start to form in the mixture. These bubbles indicate that wild yeast is forming.
3. 3 Day 2: As well as stirring, you will begin to feed the starter on day 2. In the morning, mix 1/4 cup of flour mixture and 3 tablespoons room-temperature filtered water. Once mixed well, add the flour-water mixture to the jar with the starter mixture. Stir well and continue to stir throughout the day if possible. Every 12 hours, add this same feeding mixture (1/4 cup flour plus 3 tablespoons water) to the mother mixture.
4. 4 Day 3: By now, you should notice an overall sponge-like texture. If this is the case, your starter is ready to use. At this point, it should be kept in certain conditions to keep from over-growing. Keep it sealed, in the refrigerator.
5. 5 If your starter has only a bit of foam at the top, but you notice a fragrant smell of yeast, these are good signs and could be that the room is too cool. Check to make sure the location is draft free. If you don't notice these minimal signs and a note a foul smell, discard starter and restart.
6. 6 If your sponge is still very watery but has a sponge forming, mix well, take out 1 cup of the mixture, and discard (or use in another recipe) and feed the starter every 6 hours.
7. 7 By day 4 your starter should be ready. Keep the starter covered in the refrigerator and feed very two weeks or each time you measure out any starter.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 17x14 inch (or lager) cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. 2 Tear off a 30x18 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold it in half to 18x15 inch. Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18 inches long with a diameter of 5 inches at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Fasten end with clear tape. Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid. Bend tail of cone up then down at end. Spray outside of cone with non-stick cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.
3. 3 Beat the egg with the water to make a glaze. Open and unroll the first can of breadstick dough on work surface. Separate breadsticks. Begin by wrapping one breadstick around tip of cone. Brush end of next breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first breadstick. Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until there are 3 breadsticks left.
4. 4 Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then braid. Brush bread around opening of cornucopia with glaze. Gently press on braid. Brush entire cornucopia with glaze.
5. 5 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes or until bread is a rich brown. (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with pieces of foil.)
6. 6 Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.)

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• self-rising flour
• greek yogurt
• egg
• everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Combine flour and Greek yogurt in a large bowl until well blended; transfer dough to a floured work surface. Knead dough for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky.
3. 3 Divide dough in half; roll each half into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet; flatten each to a 1-inch thickness using your hand. It should look like a burger patty.
4. 4 Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl until well mixed; brush over dough patties. Sprinkle tops and sides of dough patties with bagel seasoning.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool completely.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• bread flour
• salt
• active dry yeast
• cooking spray

Instructions

1. 1 Place bread flour into the bowl of an electric stand mixer and pour in water, followed by salt. Sprinkle yeast over the surface and allow to dissolve and turn creamy, about 5 minutes.
2. 2 Mix on medium speed using the paddle attachment until dough comes together. Replace the paddle with the dough hook and continue mixing until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
3. 3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Push a finger into dough; it should give some resistance, but not spring back. If it springs back, let it rise longer.
4. 4 Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down to expel excess gas and redistribute yeast. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rest, 10 to 15 minutes.
5. 5 Shape dough into a boule by pushing it back and forth on the counter in a circular motion until you have a round, smooth ball. Cover dough with a clean dish towel and allow to rise, about 1 hour.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a Dutch oven with cooking spray.
7. 7 Slice a very shallow "X" into the top of dough with a sharp knife to help it expand while baking. Place loaf into the prepared Dutch oven and cover with the lid.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue to bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking until loaf is deep golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• all-purpose flour
• all-purpose flour
• kosher salt
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the top position. Preheat a heavy baking sheet in the oven.
2. 2 Dust a clean work surface and a rolling pin with 1 teaspoon flour, or as needed.
3. 3 Place 1 cup flour into a mixing bowl; set a timer for 16 minutes (18 minutes maximum). Start the timer; pour water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into flour. Stir with a fork until dough forms a rough ball.
4. 4 Transfer dough to the prepared work surface; knead rapidly and firmly until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
5. 5 Divide dough into 4 equal-sized pieces; cut each piece in half to get 8 pieces. Swiftly roll each piece into a ball. Working from the center, roll out each dough piece into a 5-inch-diameter round, dusting with flour as needed. Continue to gradually roll dough out to a diameter of about 8 inches, increasing each size by about 1 inch, then letting dough rest for a few seconds before rolling again to the finished size. The dough rounds will be very thin.
6. 6 Use a fork to quickly pierce through each dough round about 25 times, all over, to prevent rising. Flip dough over and pierce each piece again 25 times.
7. 7 With at least 5 minutes left on the timer, remove the hot baking sheet from the preheated oven and place dough rounds onto the baking sheet.
8. 8 Bake on the top rack in the preheated oven for 2 minutes; flip matzah over and bake until lightly browned and crisp, about 2 more minutes.
9. 9 Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Use a brush to lightly anoint each matzah with olive oil. Season generously with salt.
